Call and Response Clothing is an art-minded, music-influenced concept studio created by
Catherine Robinson, Lori Marcuz, and Annie McDayter. Founded in Toronto, Canada in 2004,
C&R quickly grew a following of musicians, creatives, and artists looking for the wild, the
unrestrained, and the audacious. Together, the team craft pieces to blend texture, movement,
and silhouette using unusual textiles and meticulous techniques.
Design is without boundaries, as music, art, and creation must be to flourish and thrive. Both
architectural yet breathing: ebbing and flowing. Call and Response are designers for those who
wish to be, those who are, and those who were, forever and always, personal and experimental:
raw and refined.
PREVIOUS COLLECTIONS
What inspired you to become a fashion designer?
We each found our way into fashion through different paths, but we all share the same passion for art, craftsmanship, and creation. Fashion became the perfect medium to bring our ideas, techniques, and creativity together.
How would you describe your design style?
Our work is art-minded, music-influenced, and experimental. We combine texture, movement, and unexpected materials to create pieces that feel architectural while remaining fluid and expressive.
What can people expect from your latest collection?
Our latest collection reflects the evolution of our creative journey. It features bold silhouettes, rich textures, and handcrafted details that celebrate individuality, movement, and artistic expression.
How does music influence your design process?
Music has always been a major source of inspiration for us. When creating pieces for artists like Prince, we listened to the music that inspired him, allowing rhythm, emotion, and energy to naturally shape the collection.
How do three designers work together while maintaining one brand identity?
Each of us brings a different strength to the studio. Cathy explores experimental textiles, Annie focuses on dark romanticism, and Lori contributes technical tailoring. By combining our individual perspectives, we create one cohesive vision for Call and Response.
